Montreal Impact

Sunday’s football game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium pits together Atlanta United and Montreal Impact. The Five Stripes have been impressive in front of goal in September and they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach against the Canadian outfit. Atlanta United’s main goal is to clinch their spot in the play-offs and given the experienced of head coach Tata Martino, they are definitely capable of turning the dream into reality. The newcomers have been producing thrilling performances at home ground this season and it has to be noted that they crushed New England 7-0 earlier in September. Montreal Impact’s displays on the road leave a lot to be desired and, taking everything into account, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed. The Canadian club recorded a 2-1 win over Atlanta at Stade Saputo earlier this season and, no doubt, the hosts are hungry for revenge.
